5-5 PLO8 Cash at the Rio Day 1

side note: there were 4-5 tables going all WSOP for the Big "O". Essentially, it's 5 card PLO8. From what i heard, the game was very action driven early in the series, but had become nitty by the time I was cash gaming at the Rio.
-----

woman in 1 seat - seemed to be giving lots of action
chased nut low draws, et al
hero's hand: aqj3

she limped
i pot raised
everyone else folded
she calls

j42q7

flop
villain: checks
hero: bets 3/4 pot
villain: calls

turn
villain: checks
hero: bets 2/3 pot
villain: calls

river
villain: instapotted me all in on river (2/3 pot sized bet)
she thought she had a straight
hero: calls

hero scoops and double up (villain was 160bb+ deep, hero was around 100bb)

analysis: I think she would have probably ended up calling anyway thinking 2 pair may be good

she had earlier kept betting pot when i check/called with low draw (and some outs to scoop); hit it with counterfeit protection, and she kept betting 2 pair w/ no chance of scooping; I freerolled her - any diamond or pair for my hand gave me trips

---------------------
another example hand:

she seemed to only bet high hands
board on turn: 47d9d6
hero's hand: a24d5d
villain's hand: 8tbb (b = [TJQKA])

villain only started betting on turn with straight (no low, only getting freerolled here)

analysis:
hero is freerolling for diamonds for scoop; against villain's hand, hero already locked up low (with counterfeit protection)
unfortunately, no diamond came and pot was chopped

-----------------
a235 2 suited to ace (ie: ah2h3d5s)
straddle existed ($10)

woman - raises (pot) preflop in early position
i flat call
youngish kid (he had been playing the 5-10 Big "O" (5 card PLO8) - repopped on button for 27bb (i originally played the 325 PLO8 sat with him)
call
call

qjt rainbow flop
she pots - everyone folds...

-----
up about 70 bets
